Where we no task are set but for to sing The praises of our Liberal Royal King And to adore him in our nature now Mov'd by his spirit his name for to avow As Members of His Body mystical And dyving still in Divine Myst'ries all In Oracles and Ordinances seeing Him and Him in His dispensations eyeing He. These Metaphors I know not what they mean Nor to discern your plainest speech attain The one enfolding deepest mysteries The other not discern'd with carnall eyes Sam. Thou dost not only in the Faith bewray Thy weaknesse but doth wilfully betray Thy self in contradicting sweetest feelings Experimented sensible revealings Flowing and falling timous tides of love Which did thy-then lively affections move Thou know'st what every word we speak doth mean And that it is thy Lovers language clean Appointing for our weaknesse figures frail The splendor of spiritual things to vail As wine and milk aples and hony sweet Under his shadow feasting we delight Lest in His light we should be rapted so That souls should suddenly abortive go Can'st thou the body of the Sun behold And not be dazled if thou wert so bold Whose light and operations yet thou may Enjoy and not thy weaknesse so bewray Amongst the shadows thou may'st feed securely Upon the substance that doth then allure thee Where dyving dayly in this depth by seeing From glory unto glory formed being We come to true tranquillity at length And there enjoy our Lovers joy our strength● So as we may with peace a space suspend That Glories breaking up that doth attend To be imparted for eternitie When we by grace matured for it be Eyes ears and hearts see hear not nor conceives Now what the true Believer then receives Farlesse who can our King conceive aright Untill we be admitted to his sight Who in such Glory inaccessible Enjoyes Himself to us impenitrable But by the grace of faith so apprehended As for our comfort He hath condescended So as we must be bred led fost'red here For sights unseen by such as do appear This is the life ye know Believers live To whom both grace and glory He doth give Up then my heart take heart among thy mates Ly not so sad thy Wel-beloved wait● To see thee stir for He will thee sustain Suppose both weak and wanting thou hast been Up up come come go go with us Hel. No no What thou hast said I do believe But lo I am but blind although to see I seem And what I seem'd to see falls out a dream Or vision vanish'd by the way it came Nor know I how I do or what I am Sam. This is not unto death I thee assure But shall His honour and thy health procure What thou hast seen and felt do not deny But His unchanged love believe apply Hele. How can the blind the deaf the dumb confesse Believe apply faith or felt-love professe Doubtlesse I have His fervent love again Provoked and forsaken am Sam. Refrain Thy sense is gone it seems but where 's thy reason For thou art bourding with a birth of treason Because through weaknesse thou canst him provoke Must he his constant counsell then revoke When in thy birth and blood thou lay in bands And hands of death did he not give commands Death to be gone and thee ordain'd to live What merite for this mercy didst thou give Knows he not well that thou no good canst do Without his presence and supply thereto And shall he now reputed be a changer Hele. No but to me he makes himself a stranger Sa. Strange when thou hast thy self from him estranged Thy reason should conclude that he is changed Or that he hath estrang'd himself so far While such love-tokens resting with thee are Hast thou not biding still beside thee here A Mirror full of beauty passing clear Wherein thou dost his portraict true possesse Full means to keep thy heart from heaviness He woo'd thee in a time of fervent love That thou shouldst constant faithfull loyall prove Preparing trimming purifying till The Nuptiall-rites he should compleat fulfill Do not what he hath done for thee deny Extoll his acte and on his truth rely Hele. What thou hast said that surely have I seen Acted by him for me hath truly been I am convinc'd and more than any speach Or largest heart-conceptions can reach But true it is when I to admiration His deeds had found surpassing declaration And then far far far over and above Had felt his sweetnesse in a time of love My melting heart within his heart relenting That almost warms affections in recenting But in that sweetnesse then I fell asleep Surprised with such sopor sad and deep That when I did awake my only One Was gone and now poor I do die alone For in his absence I 'm become a block A wretched fruitlesse and a withered stock Sa. Dost thou conceive these blinks these smiles these smells These melting motions whereof now thou tells Were tendred out thy fancy for to feed No but to strengthen faith for fruit and feed Hele. Then shall I no more look to see my Love Sam. Sense follows such as do most faithfull prove And feelings flee when they are followed most But when we stand by faith there 's nothing lost Hele. Oh! lost What losse can be compar'd to this To lose the only Author of my blisse Sam. Thy Blesse Conceive me and resolve me this If thou hadst thy desire unto thy wish Shouldst thou in this poor dusty rusty shrine Indure that splendor by these beams should shine Upon thy sp'rits Thou know'st how soon they failed When with a little blink thou wast assailed Look up make bold take hold hold fast by hoping And till thine eyes anointed be be groping Amongst thy Mates where I have seen thee there Presse forward with thy pith do not despair He. I know not what nor yet whereof ye mean Sam. I witnesse will as yet what I have seen When first thy Princely Lover to this place Translated thee could'st thou then sleep or cease But with Associats of the Citty using Uncessantly in deepest mysteries musing A frequent waiter at solemnities Much mov'd in minding our immunities About the River spying out thy spots And washing in the Streams away thy blots Upon the Mountains where Heav'ns dew distills And Fountain that with all refreshments fills Thou art so fram'd and to a habite new Inflam'd with firm affections pure and true Exactly set uncessantly to sing The praises of thy ever-glorious King The rarest Aires and sweetest musick matching And unto new inventions nightly watching Adorned with such ornaments ingrain That most infective tempests never stain What hes indured been by men of mights For to defend our priviledged rights Thou hast observ'd and deeply pondered then Composed to be wondred at by men These things deny thou canst not witnesse clear The Cittizens thine own Associats here Witnesse thy vestures new these shining Robes From mourning more refrain restrain thy sobs This world new no
